Soy Curls with Green Chili Pumpkin Seed Sauce
This dish has a decidedly southwestern flavor owing to the combination of pumpkin, pumpkin seeds, and green chili. It’s delicious, and so good for you! We use soy curls to make this, but you can also use cubed tofu. You can either cook this on the stove top, or in a slow cooker (if you have an Instant Pot you can use the slow cook function on it).

Tofu Bulgogi Recipe – Vegan Bulgogi for a Taste of Korean BBQ
Our tofu bulgogi recipe is a vegan take on a traditional Korean beef barbecue recipe. “Bulgogi” literally translates to “fire meat” (so we guess that this is “fire tofu”), and it is probably called such because the traditional marinade includes chili, ginger, garlic, onion, and spring onion. But our version isn’t really fire hot, although it is flavorful! Traditional bulgogi marinade also includes about a half a fresh pear, either finely chopped or grated.

Copycat Chef Babette’s Vegan Enchilada Pie with Polenta and Copycat SIE Sauce
Looking for the recipe for Chef Babette’s vegan enchilada pie casserole? Here it is! A few years ago Chef Babette appeared on the Steve Harvey show, and demonstrated how to make her vegan enchilada pie (which is really a casserole), which includes a polenta base. Steve and Chef Babette, famous for her Stuff I Eat vegan restaurant, promised viewers that the recipe itself, with ingredients and amounts, could be found on Steve Harvey’s website, however either they were posted and then quickly taken down, or, perhaps due to oversight, never posted at all. We don’t know what happened, but we do know that people have been looking for that recipe ever since. So, we are thrilled to provide you with our copycat version of Chef Babette’s vegan enchilada pie with polenta.
